REDARC Smart Start SBI12 12V 100A Battery Isolator
Protect your starting battery while keeping your auxiliary battery charged with the REDARC Smart Start® SBI12. This 12V, 100A microprocessor-controlled battery isolator automatically manages power between your starting and auxiliary batteries, making it an ideal solution for dual battery systems in 4WDs, overland vehicles, work trucks, RVs, and marine applications.
The SBI12 operates as a solenoid priority system, automatically isolating the start battery from auxiliary loads once the engine is switched off. This ensures your vehicle always retains enough power to start while allowing your secondary battery to safely power refrigerators, lighting, compressors, communications equipment, and other accessories.
Featuring REDARC's proven power-saving technology, the SBI12 minimizes high-voltage transients while delivering reliable operation under demanding conditions. Its intelligent fault detection system continuously monitors system performance, providing LED indication of voltage drops, over-voltage conditions, and excessive current draw.
